Ikey has a tutorial stickied for 32 bit users. Some good Emerald set up info may be obtained there.

To make it stick at every login: Go into Compiz Settings|Window Decoration and set the window manager to /usr/bin/emerald. Log out, log back in and you'll be greeted with a gorgeous default Emerald windowed desktop.

It hapeens because you don't have permission to edit /etc/apt/trusted.gpg. You can run that command as root or you can manually download the key. Then add it by going to Control Center>Software Sources>Authentication, Import Key. Find the key you downloaded and then close. Updates should work after that.

well, i had the same idea and tried with sudo before.. same error, now in a root terminal it finally worked, thank you man, for the hint ^^

now i have "a problem with broken packages" when i try to update, but i think, this has nothing to do with the missing key!?repair broken packages in synaptics is telling me succes, but the problem is still there.. any hint again?

Thanks for tracking this down. I loved Emerald on my 64-bit Main desktop. Over the weekend, I decided to try out LMDE. I was disappointed that I couldn't find The emerald engine anywhere except as source, and for some reason I could not get it to compile (not a programmer, just a few steps beyond noob The Ubuntu repos had me spoiled with all of their tools). I hate to think that I'm so shallow that something like a themer engine could make me so aggravated and ready to chuck the whole experience, but I was about "this close."

ok i have upload my emerald on mediafire service, i haven't mirror personal for nowhttp://www.mediafire.com/?6s4suew9wpzl4s1 good download all mint users and stuff. Please administrators and users can use my version emerald on linux mint mirror official.
